With all the pulled hamstrings at the WR position.....again? I like the move to add veteran depth at the receiver position.

Posted at 12:04 PM ET, 05/ 3/2009 Skins Offer Deals to Washington, Hackett (Updated)
The Redskins have offered contracts to veteran free agent wide receivers Kelley Washington and D.J. Hackett, who participated in minicamp this weekend, a league source said. Washington is expected to decide on the Redskins' offer after visiting the Baltimore Ravens this week. Hackett was expected to take a physical this afternoon and planned to sign with the team today, a league source said.

If we get Washington that could spell the end for Thrash. Washington does the same exact things only younger and cheaper. Thrash dropped a good number of passes last year also. I was watching the Eagles and Giants games from last year recently and he dropped big 3rd down throws in both games. Catches that should have been made to convert and move the chains. I know he's a cult hero and all but he's not really a viable option anymore.

Plus Thrash is 34 years old. I wonder though, if he stays healthy I would definitely prefer Hacket but Washington is also pretty good when he gets a chance to play. Bascially Hacket has more potential but Washington is the safer pick since Hacket has a hard time staying healthy.

The biggest thing I DON'T want is time going away from Kelly and Thomas. Yes, I want to win now, but we HAVE TO LET THEM DEVELOP.

Yeah you could be right. It might be the end of the road for Thrash. But I'm not sure why Washington hasn't stuck on with anyone and had a big season catching the football. I remember he was a stud coming out of Tenn.

we should trade Moss, get a 2nd or 3rd for him next year, and let all the young and up coming WR, play now, the best way is to find out which one, really wants to be #1

yeah Washington probably has a real good shot to make this team. He has some ability and most importantly he is a quality teams player. It'll probably end up Thomas,Kelly,Moss, Randle El,Washington most game days.

both are nice signings.....Washington will hopefully replace Thrash. Hackett cant really replace Thrash because he doesn't play special teams. He is nice insurance though if we have an injury to the top 4 WR's, esp. with Kelly having another surgery. Even though Hackett can't stay healthy either, at least he can help the youngins learn the system if nothing else....
